Am posting this on behalf of my cousin George. As angry as I am about negligence in both public and private health institutions based on fact that we pay taxes to have affordable and quantity healthcare, that's not an option today. We have to deal with current realities. Let's help heal Juliana.WRK

From George WachiraDear fellow Kenyan,

Please help out a mum, my wife Juliana.

My name is George Wachira. Am a
normal hard working Kenyan. The last one month though has turned my life and
that of my beloved wife and family into hell on earth.

Juliana and I were elated at the prospects of parenthood and on 8th October
2015. We walked into Mater hospital because labour
indicated that it was indeed time to receive our bundle of joy hopefully
through normal birth. After being in labour for over 24 hours the doctors
decided it was best to surgically remove the baby. We were gifted with a
beautiful baby boy.

Complications unfortunately arose from the
Cesarean Section and 4 days later Juliana had to be rushed back into surgery
for an emergency Laparotomy and Colonoscopy. Basically, whoever had operated on
her also cut her intestines. Negligence. She had to go into emergency surgery.

After the surgery she was put on drip medication
plus hydration because she was not taking anything orally. This then caused
another problem of water retention in the body. When this was eventually
discovered she had to be put in the HDU for close monitoring. After more than a
month in hospital,Juliana was finally
cleared to go home.

The bill at this point had come to around 1.8
million shillings. With the help of Insurance, family and friends we were able
to clear this amount and she finally came home and was reunited with her new
born son.

Juliana is required to undergo further surgery
to close up the opening left after the previousoperation. An amount of 1 million shillings is
required for her to undergo this final operation.

Let us help this young mother, my wife, begin
her journey into parenthood a lot happierand healthier.

Please give whatever you can and help us achieve our goal of 1 million
shillings. Every shilling counts.
